how to get the quotes right

Do you have IT problems? Unsure what software to use for virus checking, or maybe just a general IT question, post your request here and perhaps one of our IT talented members could solve your problem.

Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but if I want to remove the extra quotes, I just start at the beginning of the quote , delete the first word [quote], then the rest of the quote until you get to the end of it. There you will see [quote] again, then delete that. But, if you mess up and erase the word [quote] at the beginning of the quote you want to quote (lol), you will mess up the quote! This may not be the correct way, but it works for me... or if you want to cheat, sometimes I copy what I want quoted from the text, open up a reply page, paste the text...then you can highlight the entire quote and then hit the "quote" button at the top of the page. But if you want the name of the person on there that you are quoting, you have to type it in...i.e (per so and so). Is that clear as mud?

The McCanns said they had tortured themselves for a year about leaving their children alone. Mr McCann said: "People will say that they've never done that and you know, who am I to argue?

The quote box is made with two pieces of code, one makes the top of the box and the other the bottom (they join up automatically).

(NB in these examples I will use round brackets, but in the actual code they are square. You will only need to think for one moment to work out why I have done this.)

OK here is the code:

Top of the box: (quote)

Bottom of the box: (/quote)

That's it. Really simple. If you were to type (quote) (/quote) into a post you would get an empty box. Anything you put between the two bits of code would appear in the box the code made.

When you hit the 'quote' button at the bottom of a post you get a bit added to the top-of-the-box code, which adds the poster's name. The top of a box that has a poster's name in it then looks like this:
